Urban Oddities: The Seven-Day Cycle

Yan Shi has ridden a horse, a donkey, and a dragon for the first time.

How about the feeling?It was like riding a big fish, slippery, if it wasn't for the side fins that got stuck on the legs, Yan Shi would have almost slipped into Ao Lie's tail.

The lake was dark and depressing, and they couldn't see their fingers. They didn't dare to turn on the lights in the lake. It wasn't until they entered the hole in the lotus pond that Ao Lie's body emitted a faint fluorescent light. The slender dragon body broke through the lake water, turning white again. The large fins are like floating veils, swaying gently along the current.

Xu Huayou was in front, and Luo Yunsong was sitting on him. When Ao Lie turned on the light, Luo Yunsong had the illusion that the light was on in the room. Looking back, he let out a wow, and praised: "Xiao Lie, you are so beautiful !"

Ao Lie shook his head happily. Everyone in the Dragon Palace praised him as the bright moon in the deep sea. Among the Dragon Clan, his light was pure and beautiful. Listen to it again, so I asked a lot: "What does it look like? Describe it?"

Luo Yunsong: "Incandescent lamp!"

Incandescent: "..."

Luo Yunsong tilted his head and thought for a while, then added: "An incandescent lamp in a wedding dress!"

Incandescent lamp in a wedding dress: "..."

Xu Hua seemed to be amused, and swept Ao Lie's nose with his tail fin. Ao Lie was tickled by him, opened his mouth, and chased after the tail fin to bite, and the tail fin retracted flexibly when he closed his mouth.

Luo Yunsong patted Xu Hua: "Can you turn on the light too?"

Xu Hua shook his head and said, "I'm different from Xiaolie, I can't shine."

Luo Yunsong was curious: "Aren't you a family?"

Xu Hua said, "No."

Ao Lie finally bit Xu Hua's tail fin, gritted his teeth in his mouth and said: "Xu Hua, you should say yes, my parents have long regarded you as a family, my home is your home."

Xu Hua looked back at Ao Lie, who happened to be looking at him too.

Xu Hua pulled out his tail fin, placed it on Ao Lie's head, and said thank you softly.

Small fish swam by in groups, Yan Shi raised his hand to stop one, the small fish bumped into his palm, bumped twice clumsily, then bypassed the obstacle ignorantly, and continued to swim with the group up.

Strange to say, riding on a dragon, I didn’t feel like I was drowning at all. Not only could I breathe and talk, but my body was still dry. Yan Yan looked at his hands and found that there was a faint light covering him, like a sleeve. a waterproof protective film.

Xu Hua stopped at the edge of the big pit, poked his head and looked down, just in time a group of small fish swam out of the deep pit and bumped into Xu Hua's face head-on, Xu Hua snorted and sprayed the small fish that got into his nostrils When it came out, the little fish didn't seem to understand what happened. It looked at Xu Hua's nostrils again and again. Xu Hua spat out a mouthful of water on purpose, and the little fish swam away belatedly. Luo Yunsong sniffed it. Sniffing, wondering: "It seems that this water has a strange smell?"

"It has a smell, and it gets stronger as it goes in." Xu Hua turned his head and reminded, "Xiao Lie, the water here is not clean, so don't eat indiscriminately."

Ao Lie gnawed at Xu Hua's tail and joked: "I didn't eat it, I just waited to eat you!"

Xu Hua turned around and gently licked the tip of Ao Lie's nose.

Swimming through the U-shaped waterway, as Xu Hua described, the space opened up not long after going upstream, and the space became wider as you went up. It turned out that the underground lake was in the shape of a huge funnel, and the sloping bottom of the lake was full of aquatic plants.

Luo Yunsong asked Xu Hua: "Where did you find the amulet?"

Xu Hua said, "It's nearby, but no bones were found."

The space after coming out of the water is much larger than Luo Yunsong imagined. There are jagged stalactites on the top, and there is only one road on the bank, which leads to nowhere. The cave is dark and cold, and there is a pungent smell.The goods in the town are not complete, and there is no powerful flashlight. Yang Xiaoji bought only ordinary household models, not only not waterproof, but also dimly lit, so the environment in the cave can only be seen roughly.

After Xu Hua and Ao Lie went ashore, they changed back to human form, and took out clothes from the waterproof bag to wear. Ao Lie took out his underwear and put the waterproof bag in a corner. Hearing a thud, a puddle of black liquid splashed up, thick Luo Yunsong moved the flashlight over, the black water was in the corner, a shallow puddle, with a layer of grease floating on the surface of the water, if Ao Lie hadn't put the bag casually, they would not have noticed, Luo Yun Song covered his nose and walked over, observed for a while, and let out an exclamation. He pointed to the black water and said excitedly: "Water, water! It's water!"

Yan Shixun almost vomited, endured and endured, and finally choked out a sentence: "Of course it's water, what else can it be if it's not water? It smells so bad, it's just like..."

In the middle of Yan Shi's speech, he showed a strange expression and looked at Luo Yunsong. The two stared at each other, unable to speak a word.

Their weird expressions made Ao Lie baffled, he suppressed his nausea, picked up the waterproof bag, put it in the lake to wash, black water spread from the bag, like ink dripping into the lake, Ao Lie washed While washing, my body suddenly trembled. Only then did I finally understand. I turned around and said in surprise, "Could this be... the water of living corpses?!"

Yan Shi followed the water stains and looked into the depths of the cave. The black water was intermittently distributed on the ground, dyeing the ground black and smelly. The stench they smelled came from these water stains.

There have been living corpses haunting the cave, although the time of the activity cannot be guessed, but the black water must be left by the living corpses!

Is it Zhou Yongfei?

Xu Hua walked ahead to open the way. Yan Shi and Luo Yunsong held watermelon knives and looked wary. They walked not far away when suddenly there was a crash from behind. Luo Yunsong reacted very quickly and shone the flashlight almost immediately.

The surface of the lake was rippling and gradually calmed down.

When turning the corner, something was churning in the lake water, making a splashing noise. Ao Lie ran over quickly, and came back after a while, shaking his head, and said: "The lake is only swaying in circles. Ripples, probably fish."

After advancing for more than ten minutes, at the end, Xu Hua stopped. He still had no expression on his face, but he stood motionless holding the flashlight, staring straight ahead, apparently disbelieving what was in front of him.

Ao Lie also stared straight at him, opened his mouth wide, and his expression became very shocked.

They thought they could meet Zhou Yongfei by chance in this weird underground cavity, and then cut off his head to solve the matter of the seven-day cycle.

but no.

Not only was there no Zhou Yongfei, but something that should not have appeared appeared.

In front of their eyes, there was a flat wall. This wall was built very poorly, made of red bricks one by one, like a small rural earthen house buried in the ground.

In the depth of an unknown number of meters in the ground, there is an artificial wall. This thing is extremely weird. Several men peeked at each other. Well, if you throw it hard, it will produce a small explosion effect. It took Yang Xiaoji half a year to draw this talisman. There are only three of them. They are very precious. When Yan Shi saw that he was going to throw a bomb, he stopped him immediately and set off an explosion in the underground cave. It would be strange not to bury them, Yan Shi took out a hammer and smashed it casually, the wall made a muffled sound, and some pieces fell off, Yan Shi wanted to continue smashing, Ao Lie said: "Give me the hammer, I will do it."

Ao Lie held the hammer, but he was not in a hurry to smash it. He carefully touched the brick, selected a joint, and hit it hard, and a hole was sunken in the wall. Yan Shi was amazed: "It's so professional!"

Ao Lie said proudly: "I once stayed in the demolition team for half a month, what wall has not been demolished?"

Xu Hua said seriously: "Xiao Lie, you will inherit the company in the future, don't go to the construction site anymore, the construction site is all hard work, and you can't learn much experience."

Ao Lie said sullenly: "Then what job should I look for?"

Xu Hua: "Big enterprise, big company."

Ao Lie: "I looked for it, but they don't want it."

Xu Hua: "Why?"

Ao Lie: "I can't answer the interview, and I don't know how to do the written test."

Xu Hua: "Xiao Lie, have you ever taught management subjects in class?"

Ao Lie looked up at the sky.

Holding a pen, Xu Hua scribbled on the sticky note expressionlessly: Xiao Lie, you probably didn't attend class again, did you? !What about the exam? ! Σ(っ°Д°;)っAo Lie touched his nose: "Well, I was blind during the exam."

Xu Hua swiped his pen and wrote: Can you get full marks even if you are blind? ! Σ(°△°|||)

Ao Lie: "Who told it that the answer is all C?"

Xu Hua turned his face and drew a big one: QAQ

Ao Lie carefully put all the sticky notes into his pocket, and knocked with a hammer for a long time. He was so tired that he was out of breath. The wall was full of potholes. The deepest hole was almost three bricks deep, but the wall still didn't break through.

Luo Yunsong touched the deepest pit, there were still bricks behind the bricks, he shook his head: "I'm afraid it's still early."

He scanned the wall with a flashlight, feeling it inch by inch. When he reached the corner, he found a dark hole. The hole was close to the ground, just in the shadow of the stone. Just now they kept thinking about hitting the wall. Instead, he ignored the corner. Luo Yunsong lay on the ground and used a flashlight to shine in. The hole was uneven and the light could not reach the end. It was quite deep. Luo Yunsong couldn't see it clearly, so he bent down and got in. After climbing a few steps, his waist tightened, and he grabbed his belt tightly and dragged him out.

Yan Shi scolded him: "So what are you doing impulsively! What if there is danger inside?!"

After dragging Luo Yunsong out, Yan Shi bent down and wanted to climb in to have a look. Luo Yunsong was anxious, hugged Yan Shi's waist, and said nervously: "Yan Shi! Don't run around!"

Yan Shi shyly backed out, kicked his legs, the big hooligan still hugged him, Yan Shi snorted and said: "I don't know who got in first? If you can get in, I can't?"

The big hooligan is neither humble nor overbearing: "I'm just looking at it. If Yan Da is big, maybe I'll go all the way to the end. If something unexpected happens, do you think I can rest assured?"

Ao Lie also took a flashlight to shine in, and drilled in. After shining for a while, he said, "The depth is at least five meters. There seems to be a turning point five meters away, and I can't see it clearly."

Five meters has not yet reached the end, and the thickness of this wall is so exaggerated? !

Luo Yunsong and Yan Shi looked at each other, a sense of fear rose in their hearts for no reason, they quickly called Ao Lie to come out, Ao Lie responded repeatedly, but suddenly he jumped forward and burrowed into a certain distance, his movement was so unexpected It was so unexpected, Luo Yunsong stayed for a few seconds before reacting, and hurriedly followed in. At this time, Ao Lie had already drilled several meters, Luo Yunsong took advantage of him not going deep, and quickly pounced, grabbed Ao Lie's trouser leg, and hurriedly Said: "Xiao Lie, don't go in, come out!"

"There's something in front!" Ao Lie struggled, still digging in, the hole was small and dark, Luo Yunsong couldn't use his strength, he raised his head, and hit the top with a bang, the pain was so painful that his eyes were staring, and his hand Song, Ao Lie took the opportunity to continue to climb forward. When Luo Yunsong shined the flashlight on the past, he just saw Ao Lie let out an exclamation. Yun Song dragged it out.

Ao Lie covered the back of his head with one hand, spread the other hand, and said, "Look, what is this?"

The rope was dyed dark brown, and there was a Q-version cat hanging on it.

"Oh, it's a hair tie." Xu Hua only glanced at Ao Lie's injury, and Ao Lie had a big bump on his head. Xu Hua rubbed the medicinal wine in his hands to warm it up, and covered it on his big face. Gently massage onto wrap.

Luo Yunsong took the rope and rubbed it, wondering: "Isn't this for a little girl? Could it be that a little girl came here?"

Yan Shi: "Hello."

Luo Yunsong: "?"

Lowering his head, seeing the active oil in Yan Shi's hand, Yan Shi said, "Apply the medicine yourself."

Luo Yunsong sniffed his hand: "It stinks."

Yan Shi: "..."

Luo Yunsong threw the rope aside. The smell of the rope was too strong, making him uncomfortable. He sat cross-legged on the ground, thinking about the hole, and suddenly said: "Hiss... Yan Da... Take it easy..."

Yan Shi: "...well, are you satisfied with this?"

"Well, it's okay, and this." Luo Yunsong pointing lazily at his shoulder, "If you can massage it... oh my head QAQ..."

Yan Shi originally thought about giving him the medicine and forgetting about it, but in the end he pinched Luo Yunsong's shoulder with a look of disgust.

Xu Hua gave Ao Lie good medicine, took a flashlight to illuminate the cave, and said, "I'll go inside first to find out the way."

When Luo Yunsong was about to find him a weapon, Xu Hua jumped in and disappeared after a few strokes. Luo Yunsong yelled into the cave, "Xu Hua! Wait!"

"It's okay." After a while, Xu Hua's voice came again, "Come in."

Luo Yunsong got in first, Yan Shi followed behind him, and Ao Lie was in the rear.

Xu Hua's voice muffled: "Is there a mask?"

"No..." Luo Yunsong said helplessly. He didn't expect to drill a hole in the ground. The item of masks was not listed in the list of items. On the contrary, almost none of the diving equipment listed was useful, and the smell in the hole was bearable. But after drilling for a while, Luo Yunsong finally understood why Xu Hua asked him for a mask.

The hole became narrower and narrower as it went forward, and one had to lie down on the ground to move forward. The surroundings were pitch black, and what was even more frightening was that as they crawled, those black stains were stirred up and wiped on the body, sticky, and breathed It was full of thick rancid stench, and Luo Yunsong was about to faint. He covered his nose with his sleeve, sweating profusely from crawling, and Yan Shi behind him was not much better. He covered his nose with his collar, with the same expression of pain, Luo Yunsong stopped suddenly, not knowing what he was doing, Yan Shi patted his leg: "Hey, are you okay?"

Luo Yunsong put the candy beside him and said, "Here are mints, each of you can take one."

Luo Yunsong crawled forward, Yan Shi climbed to his place, peeled off the candy and put it in his mouth, the sweet smell of mint dispelled a lot of the stench, he couldn't turn his head back, so he had to say loudly: "Xiao Lie, there is candy here, Contains one."

"Gu... I got it." Ao Lie regretted it in his heart, and muttered, "If I had known this, I would have bought a bottle of perfume..."

Xu Hua's voice came from afar: "Xiao Lie, the bottle you picked is for ladies. Men should use cologne."

Ao Lie: "What does cologne smell like?"

Xu Hua: "I have it. When I get back, I'll spray it on my body and let you smell it."

Ao Lie: "...Why do you want me to smell you?!"

Xu Hua: "Then spray it on you, I'll smell you."

Ao Lie: "..." Hey wait, what kind of logic is this? !

Xu Hua moved quickly and opened a distance. Luo Yunsong slowed down as he crawled. He was too tired to lift his head or straighten his body. Numb, I don't know how long it took before I heard Xu Hua say, "Here we are."

Before Luo Yunsong had time to cheer, Xu Hua, who was crawling in front of him, shook violently. He didn't know what he was doing. He moved very violently and retreated from time to time. Luo Yunsong was right behind him. Seeing his situation, he didn't dare After crawling, Luo Yunsong stopped, Yan Shi behind urged: "What stopped? Let's go?"

Luo Yunsong saw that Xu Hua stepped back a few meters, and quickly shouted: "Back up!"

Ao Lie didn't know what happened, and while retreating, he shouted: "Xu Hua! What are you doing?! Is there anything in front?!"

Xu Hua's breathing was unsteady, obviously he was working very hard, but his tone was still flat, and he said, "There are living corpses."

As soon as he said this, everyone became nervous. Luo Yunsong shone the flashlight, and Xu Hua had retreated in front of him at this time. Through the gap, he saw a small face. The other party was a child in the cave. Much more flexible, Xu Hua is tall and burly, unable to stretch his arms, Luo Yunsong quickly took out the watermelon knife from his bag: "Xu Hua, use the knife!"

Xu Hua said, "No need."

Xu Hua leaped forward suddenly, with a puff, a puddle of black water splashed out, the stench became stronger, a few drops of black water splashed on Luo Yunsong's lips, he almost vomited, he gritted his teeth and endured it forcefully .

After an unknown amount of time, Xu Hua said, "Okay."

Xu Hua moved out little by little, and soon got out of the hole. Luo Yunsong got out immediately. He saw Xu Hua was covered in black water, and there was a little girl's body with a broken neck at his feet. On one side of the girl's double braids was a Q version cat, but the other side was empty.

"So that hair rope belongs to her." Yan Shi climbed out and took a deep breath. The air outside the cave was also smelly, but compared to the inside of the cave, it was much better.

"Maybe she went back to find the hair rope?" Luo Yunsong guessed.

Yan Shi shook his head: "It may be that she sensed that there was a living person in the cave, but in any case, she is no longer a human being, and she cannot be treated as a child."

The little girl was probably also a corpse in the small town. It was used as an experiment and turned into a living corpse. Luo Yunsong suddenly thought of Liang Daxian and his guardians. In the eyes of ordinary people, those living corpses are resurrected from the dead, blessed by the gods. However, if it is said that their experiments were successful, Luo Yunsong felt that it was too reluctant. After all, in his eyes, the souls stuffed into the corpses were inconsistent and messy, but compared to the living corpses that were neither human nor ghost. , Those living corpses that have been successfully experimented are too human-like.

When Ao Lie came out, he ran to the corner and vomited. The rancid smell reminded him of the ink sucked in the river. It was full of those stinky juices, Xu Hua quickly took off his clothes and threw them aside, Ao Lie wiped his mouth, glanced at him, and said, "You still have it on your face."

Xu Hua was afraid of fuming him, so he took a few steps back, wiped his face with his hands, and said in a nervous tone, "Is there any more?"

"Have."

"where?"

"Here." Ao Lie raised his hand and wiped away a drop of stinky juice from Xu Hua's chin, "I'm going to spray cologne when I go back."

Xu Hua wiped Ao Lie's fingers carefully, nodded and said, "Okay, after I go back and take a shower, I'll spray it on for you."

Ao Lie: "I mean, spray you."

"Okay." Xu Hua promised earnestly, "Wherever you want to smell, I will spray it."

Ao Lie: "..." What's the matter with this lustful feeling? !
